OT: Origin of Weaving

A surprising and very fitting post Rick.

In the societies of Maritime South East Asia, weaving is the female cultural balance to the weaponry and carving of the male side of society.

Place the two together and you have a culturally balanced presence.

Thank you for showing this.

Salaams Rick~ Your thread is excellent ! I have been foraging about in the basement all week !! Its some basement .. Al Sedu or Kuwaiti Bedouin Weaving is quite a subject... I remembered my friends at Tareq Rajab Museum in Kuwait have a great section on Sedu work so I will post a few pictures soon.. I think this thread can run and run.

Regards,
Ibrahiim.
